Fury's TKO victory against Schwarz improved his record to 28-0-1, and it was a night on which he set out to entertain, firstly when recreating Apollo Creed's 'Living in America' entrance from the Rocky film franchise.

“Tonight I showed a little bit of speed, boxing skill, my ability to slip and slide out of the way of punches and also the ability to finish, which is important," Fury said.

Fury said American crowds had finally seen the best of him.

“I felt like this was my coming-out party," he said in a post-fight press conference.

"You saw me fight in December of last year. I had to lose 147 pounds for that fight [against Wilder] so I wasn't at my strongest or maybe I shouldn't have taken that fight as soon as I did after two bum fights coming back.

“This time I had enough training time, I was strong, I was fit, I was ready to put on a show. I'm active and I'm getting match-fit again."
